- Currently only macOS Catalina is supported -
This EFI partition contains relatively reasonably working drivers for the notebook. The stability does by no means come close to a real MacBook, however, it's a good place to start in my opinion.
Be sure to change the following entries in EFI/OC/config.plist to properly use your notebook:
PlatformInfo/Generic/MLBPlatformInfo/Generic/SystemSerialNumberPlatformInfo/Generic/SystemUUID
I marked them all with CHANGEME.
- USB-C: Connecting anything to USB-C will directly crash the system and make it unresponsive.
- Trackpad
- Graphics
- Battery
- NVMe
- USB-A ports
- Built-in Audio
- WiFi (https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm)
- The driver converts the WiFi connection to a virtual Ethernet connection, hence macOS thinks an Ethernet cable is plugged in. This can be a bit janky sometimes, though it's stable more often than not.
- You could experience some random disconnects here and there - you have been warned.
- Ethernet, but:
- The notebook does not provide an Ethernet port
- Lenovo forces you to use a docking station for that
- The network settings show the Ethernet connection, so I guess everything is working as it should
- I went with a generic USB-A 3.0 to Ethernet adapter with a builtin Realtek NIC (drivers: https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/network-interface-controllers-10-100-1000m-gigabit-ethernet-usb-3-0-software)
- HDMI, but:
- The secondary monitor only gets recognized when plugged in or turned on after the system already booted up (after loggin in is the safest bet).
- There's probably something wrong with macOS not realizing that the second monitor is present during bootup.
- Maybe it's a Catalina bug, maybe it's an OpenCore bug, not quite sure.
- SD card slot
- AUX audio jack
- ThinkPad docking station (don't have one)
- Any macOS newer than Catalina when using a newer OpenCore version. But that was a bit too risky for me so I haven't tried it yet.
